The parents of Donald Trump shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, revealed they called the cops before their son opened fire on Trump and several rallygoers at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
Crook’s parents called the Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, police department on Saturday morning and reported their son missing.
It was further reported that Crooks called out of work and told his boss that he wouldn’t be in for his shift but would return on Sunday.

The parents of Donald Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks called the cops to say he was missing before the shooting, a bombshell new report claims.
It follows another stunning development that the 20-year-old gunman was at the former president’s rally three hours before opening fire and sparked the suspicions of the Secret Service because he was carrying a rangefinder used by hunters to take long shots.
Crooks’s parents called law enforcement in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, to say they were concerned about their son’s whereabouts, Fox News reported.
He climbed onto a roof and shot Trump and killed retired volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore at the rally in Butler, 50 miles from his home.
Crooks told his boss that he needed the day off from work on Saturday and gave colleagues a final chilling message: That he would be back on Sunday.

Thomas Matthew Crooks’ parents were looking for him on Saturday in the hours leading up to the Trump rally shooting and eventually called law enforcement to indicate that he was missing and they were worried, Fox News has learned.
It’s unclear what his parents told authorities, but the call happened on Saturday before Crooks later opened fire at Trump during the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The parents are being cooperative with authorities and the FBI is still trying to determine a motive for the attack, sources also told Fox News.
